So given the amount of time it took Louis to discover and fix the issue, you would understand that a business person cannot take the time or hire expensive legal help. So they just pay in most cases.
NOW THE POINT!
If the financial department of NY can data mine to generate questionable fees, mail the notice to the wrong address and then go to court for a warrant (more $), this appears to be their operational plan. The management allows at best case, the workers create the bogus list and are OK with the Scam? This appears to be their mind set! Of course the government workers play stupid when someone tries to ask questions and resolve, the STALL. Just let government have their way because you will never be able to resolve the issue.
So why stop there?
If the financial department does this, what about the Election department generating bogus voter and votes?

I wouldn’t doubt it. One thing to keep in mind is that these Democrat cities have been one-party fiefdoms for a century or more in some cases. The only oversight they have had at all is when federal prosecutors get involved, and I suspect they hardly have to worry about that anymore, and they know it. So essentially they have absolute power, and we know what that leads to.

Oft attributed to Lincoln whereas "the truth" is quite different. 
Covid mail in ballots.....that’s the Rat plan
They just have a system that audits business after a certain time and makes sure they pay their fees. Probably runs every morning on businesses opened a fixed time before, and there is a bureaucrat who collects the output and puts it in the mail. Other than the fees are too high, I can’t see what the problem is.
The Democrat/Communist Party and their many cohorts have made it crystal clear they will do anything, at whatever cost to prevent Trump's re-election. The Democrat/Communist Party will stop at nothing ... whatever it takes!
